DISCOVERY REPORTS 



WS91. TS509. BIV. 



8. iv. 27. 52° 53' 45" S, 64° 37' 30" W. Dredge, 191 m. 



Dark sand with many shell fragments but little mud. Foraminifera fairly abundant, Cassi- 

 dulina crassa being dominant, with Uvigerina atigulosa almost equally numerous. A long list of 

 species was recorded but few of particular interest, among them, however, being a specimen of 

 Nonionclla chiliemis. 



WS92. TS502. A III. 



8. iv. 27. 51° 58' 30" 8,65° 01' 00" W. Dredge, 145 m. 



Gravel and sand with little mud. The sand grains rounded and polished, with the result that 

 sessile forms were very rare. Foraminifera abundant and varied, but poorly developed as regards 

 size. Cassidulina crassa, C. parkeriana, Uvigerina aiigulosa, Globigerina bidloides, Truncatulina 

 lobatula, T. variabilis and T. ungeriana, all very common and forming a large proportion of the 

 material. Among the more interesting species were Heronallenia (Discorbis) kempii, Discorbis 

 Iricamerata, sp.n., and D. chasteri, Patellinoides conica, gen. et sp.n., and many species of Lagena. 



WS93. TS503. Bill. 



9. iv. 27. 7 miles S 80° W of Beaver Island, West Falkland Islands. Dredge, 133 m. 



Shell sand with little mud. Very few Foraminifera in the coarser material, but the finer siftings 

 contained an abundant fauna. Two or three species of Cassidulina, Ehrenbergina pupa and Uvi- 

 gerina angidosa formed probably 95 per cent of the material. Miliolids were very infrequent though 

 many species were recorded. Lagena abundant and varied. This was one of the richest gatherings 

 examined and yielded over 100 species including many rare and new forms, Lingulina falcata, 

 sp.n., L. quadrata, L. vitrea, sp.n., etc. 

 WS 94. No TS (station slide). A III. 



16. iv. 27. 50° 00' 15" S, 64° 57' 45" W. Dredge, no m. 



Brown sand with hardly any mud or coarse material, and practically devoid of organic remains. 

 Nothing found except Miliolina circularis i, Tholosina bulla i, Psammosphaera fusca 2, Truncatulina 

 sp. (worn) 2. 



WS95. TS487. All. 



17. iv. 27. 48° 58' 15" S, 64° 45' 00" W. Dredge, 109 m. 



Gravel and sand, with shell fragments but little mud. Foraminifera very scanty, the only 

 species occurring in any number being various species of Truncatulina and Pulvinulina karsteni. 

 Nothing of particular interest. 

 WS 96. No TS (station slide). A II. 



17. iv. 27. 48° 00' 45" S, 64° 58' 00" W. Dredge, 96 m. 



Coarse dark brown sand, without mud and devoid of organic remains. The only species ob- 

 served was Pulvinulina karsteni, two specimens. 



WS97. TS489. BII. 



18. iv. 27. 49° 00' 30" S, 61° 58' 00" W. Residues from trawl, 146. 



Muddy brown sand with pebbles, many covered with sessile species. Foraminifera abundant 

 .and varied. Cassidulina spp. dominant. Among the interesting novelties at this station were 

 Cassidulina crassa var. porrecta, var.n., and Cristellaria tenuissima, sp.n. 



WS98. TS485. BII. 



18. iv. 27. 49° 54' 15" S, 60° 35' 30" W. Dredge, 173 m. 



Dark olive-green sandy mud with abundant Foraminifera, Uvigerina spp. and Cassidulina spp. 

 dominant, but not many other species and none of particular interest. 



WS99. TS501. CII. 



19. iv. 27. 49° 42' 00" S, 59° 14' 30" W. Dredge, 251 m. 



Dark green tenacious mud, which, when washed on 200 mesh silk, left a residue of very fine 

 angular grey sand with hardly any coarse particles. Foraminifera formed a very small proportion of
